I was prompted to ask this question by a comment that I over heard while doing some Linux advocacy at my local community centre. They run beginners computer courses (Windows only) so I popped along to see if anyone would be interested in Linux and FOSS. There was a conversation which included the statement "If your machine is 3 to 4 years old it must be getting worn out, so you need to think about getting a new one". This got me thinking about my own machines and I realised that my main desktop PC (Pentium D 3.2GHz), that I use every day, will be 9 years old in February, and it is still capable of running Ubuntu 14.04 very well. </pre> </blockquote> Thanks for your email but you should have made it as a Google Form (poll/survey) to make life easier for everyone, unless you have lots of free time to spend reading many replies :) <blockquote cite="mid:54807D28.4030300@gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> So how old is your machine?. </pre> </blockquote> <ol> <li>Pentium 2 with 64MB RAM and 4GB HDD - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1590614">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1590614</a> - you may need to login to Ubuntu Forums to see the attached images. </li> <li>Pentium 4 64bit with 512MB RAM</li> <li>Pentium 4 32bit with 2GB RAM</li> <li>Due Core with 512MB RAM</li> </ol> Yes, all working nicely except the P2 one as I can't use it for daily stuff. <blockquote cite="mid:54807D28.4030300@gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> Regards, Barry T </pre> </blockquote> Thank you! <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Ali/amjjawad <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad</a></pre> </body> </html>
